So congrats to the Cubs. Certainly as Sox fans we know the experience of breaking a long drought and I hope Cub fans enjoy it as much as we did twelve years ago.

But now it’s on to important things and that of course means the Red Sox. The Sox return the vast majority of the team from last year but that doesn’t mean there are no decisions or moves to make this winter. Dave Dombrowski has some work to do and it will be interesting to see how he does it. Here are my thoughts on what I would ...

Seriously. Whew. Holy ####, not sure I’ll be able to fall asleep anytime soon. So, to try and organize some half thought-through thoughts.

Good:
1. Chapman. This was a tough situation for him; he’s been bad all year with inherited runners and even worse in the playoffs. Longest outing in his pro career, almost most pitches thrown. He made it tougher on himself not covering first (though, not sure they get the out), but still came through.
2. Lester. I’ll get to the decision to ...

Well, hard to like much after that. Kluber was awesome, yet again. The Indians have made almost no mistakes, and have taken advantage of most of the Cubs.

Luckily, there’s 3 more games. Once again, on paper, the Cubs have the pitching advantage. They could very easily win each of the next 3 games, or it could end tomorrow. I don’t ...

Well, not a lot that can be sugar coated after that one. It really is amazing that was a 1-0 game, regardless of the winner, considering the weather. The fact that neither team came anywhere near close to hitting a home run is absolutely unbelievable. Anyhow..

Things I liked, enjoyed, or that gave me hope
1. Only giving up 1 run in this weather is a good thing, I guess.
2. I really don’t have any complaints with how any of the Cubs pitchers pitched. It would have been nice for Hendricks to ...

Things I liked, enjoyed, or that gave me hope
1. Schwarber, Schwarber, Schwarber. Is this real? Were I a neutral fan, I might start thinking this storyline is getting pounded into the ground. But it’s just so damn incredible. The entire postgame show was about whether or not he should play LF Friday, and how the Cubs are a different team with him. Yes, they are, but they were still really, really ####### good without him. ...
